Most good LFS's carry them. CRA and skiptons usually have some in stock. I'd call your closest LFS ASAP, you can definately find what you need locally.

What size bulkhead do you need? Maybe some local reefer has a spare?

Mine is 2" with a 3/4" hose barb, came with my aga 180 Brand new.. its here if you need it.

That actually sounds like 1" . Bulkheads are sized by the size of PVC that connects to them, not the actual hole size. for example a 1" standard bulkhead uses a 1 7/8" hole.

I have 1" if you are in a bind, but I am a bit of a ride away
